Mu Chenshuang whispered a few words in Qi Ye's ear, then left with Jiang Mingzhi.
Lu Wei learned about this immediately.
She knew in her heart that the person who assassinated Wei Xu could not be Mu Chenshuang, but who it was, and if she could use this to pin the crime of murder on Mu Chenshuang, wouldn't that be heaven helping him?
A heavy atmosphere of sorrow permeated every corner of the Prince of Wei's residence.
The servants have already begun preparing the mourning hall.
We arrived in the backyard.
A series of sobbing sounds came from inside the house, and two servants helped the Princess Wei, who had fainted from crying, out of the room.
Prince Wei sat inside the room, his eyes red and swollen, filled with regret and sorrow.
At this moment.
A servant came to report.
"Your Highness, Princess Weiyang and the Right Secretary of the Imperial Observatory have arrived."
Prince Wei frowned and looked up at the servant who had entered.
"Let them in."
"yes."
soon.
Mu Chenshuang entered the room.
The moment Prince Wei saw her again, his eyes were filled with regret. "What are you doing here, Princess Weiyang?" His tone was clearly displeased.
Mu Chenshuang understood the hatred that Prince Wei harbored for her.
one way or another.
Wei Xu was indeed murdered because of her.
"Your Highness, I would like to inquire about the condition of the Heir Apparent of Wei?"
Prince Wei stared at him with red eyes, "What's wrong with Xu'er? Doesn't Princess Weiyang know? What else do you want to see?"
His tone was filled with anger.
If he hadn't insisted on sending Wei Xu to the Marquis's residence yesterday, his son wouldn't have been in trouble. The only lineage of the Wei Prince's Mansion would have been cut off. How could he face his ancestors with such a disgrace?
“Your Highness, I am truly sorry about what happened to the Heir Apparent, but please allow me to check on his condition.”
Prince Wei lowered his eyes and did not stop him any further.
Mu Chenshuang walked to the bedside and looked at Wei Xu, who was lying on the bed with a deathly pale face.
She bent down and reached out to check Wei Xu's carotid artery.
Instantly.
Mu Chenshuang frowned, and there was still a very faint pulse in her heart.
Mu Chenshuang withdrew her hand, turned to look at Prince Wei, and said, "Prince Wei, the heir of the Wei family still has a trace of life left."
This situation was indeed no different from death, because there was no way to save him; all they could do was watch him lose his last breath. But who was she? She could bring Wei Xu back to life.
Upon hearing Mu Chenshuang's words, Prince Wei's eyes widened suddenly, and he stood up shakily, with the steward beside him hurriedly helping him.
Prince Wei asked incredulously, "Are you telling the truth?"
The imperial physician had already confirmed the death.
“If Prince Wei continues to delay, then this last glimmer of hope for treatment will be lost. I have already sent someone to summon Doctor Li, and he will be here soon.”
A glimmer of hope instantly ignited in Prince Wei's desolate and grief-stricken heart. Looking at the steward, he hurriedly ordered, "Go and fetch Doctor Li immediately."
"yes."
The butler hurriedly turned and left.
Jiang Mingzhi stepped forward, glanced at Wei Xu who was lying motionless on the bed, then looked away and looked up at Mu Chenshuang.
"The imperial physician has already stated that there is no hope for Prince Wei, so how can Princess Weiyang be certain that he can still be saved?"
Mu Chenshuang lowered her gaze to meet Jiang Mingzhi's eyes, "This is also within the scope of the Chengtianjian's investigation."
Jiang Mingzhi's face darkened.
Mu Chenshuang ignored him and looked at Prince Wei to explain, "Yesterday, the heir of Wei came to the Marquis's residence to deliver New Year's gifts. I also made it very clear to him that I would express my gratitude at Prince Wei's residence another day. What reason would I have to kill the heir of Wei?"
After recovering from his grief, Prince Wei listened to Mu Chenshuang's explanation and realized that she indeed had no reason to kill Xu'er.
Before Prince Wei could speak...
Jiang Mingzhi suddenly said, "Even if Princess Weiyang's explanation is reasonable, in the face of evidence, all explanations are pale. Regardless of whether Prince Wei can come back to life, he has violated the law and attempted assassination, and he will still be punished by law."
Jiang Mingzhi stepped forward, lifted Wei Xu's collar, glanced at Mu Chenshuang, and said, "I suppose Princess Weiyang is quite familiar with the red palm print on Prince Wei's chest."
When Mu Chenshuang saw the dark red palm print on Wei Xu's chest, she was filled with shock.
Jiang Mingzhi continued, "I heard that Princess Weiyang's mother created a unique palm technique called the Falling Petal Palm. Presumably, this manual is still kept in Princess Weiyang's study. This palm technique's moves are deeply aligned with acupoints. When stepping on the Falling Petal Palm steps, one moves like a swimming fish, incredibly fast. However, this palm technique has a fatal flaw: it lacks the meridian pathways. Therefore, when this palm struck Prince Wei, it did not kill him in one strike."
Jiang Mingzhi was right.
The Falling Petal Palm technique was created by the original owner's mother, but she passed away before perfecting it. The original owner did indeed inherit her mother's technique and continued to improve it.
It's obvious that the other party knows the original owner quite well. Since they used this palm technique to kill, the first person to suspect is her.
But why did this palm technique fall into the hands of others?
"Last night, when Commander Qi's men were chasing the assassin, the assassin suddenly disappeared near the Marquis's residence."
This series of evidence proves that Mu Chenshuang is the murderer.
Mu Chenshuang looked at Jiang Mingzhi with cold, calm eyes, "The whole act of framing the murderer must be done completely."
Jiang Mingzhi looked at Mu Chenshuang with disdain in his eyes, "Princess Weiyang's sophistry is too absurd. Even if Prince Wei can really come back to life today, Princess Weiyang, as the prime suspect, you still have to come back to Chengtianjian with me to accept the investigation."
Mu Chenshuang lowered her gaze, sat on the edge of the bed, and stared intently at the wound on Wei Xu's chest.
"Whether this is truly the Falling Petal Palm technique needs to be verified."
The memories in her mind told her that this palm technique was created by the original owner's mother, and the original owner had always kept the palm technique manual to herself and never given it to anyone.
Mu Chenshuang carefully examined the palm print on Wei Xu's chest.
As expected.
The palm print has a clue, but it is an extremely subtle difference. Even a master would find it difficult to detect the difference without being proficient in the meridians and acupoints of the human body.
Now that she is a suspect, her testimony is naturally not convincing at all.
Therefore, someone needs to speak up for her.
Jiang Mingzhi urged from the side, "Princess Weiyang, please come back to Chengtianjian with me."
"Even if I return to the Imperial Observatory with you, Right Secretary, I will wait until Doctor Li arrives and sees that Prince Wei is out of danger."
